> Hello I have been taking low dose(3.75 mg) remeron for wonderful sleep for 4 months now...
> I have decided that the daytime sedation and the lethargy are just not bearable. I quit it 2 days ago and now I AM ITCHING REALLY BAD... could such a low dose of remeron discontinuation be causing me this much distress?? any experience out there? thanxMirtazapine (Remeron) is a very strong antihistamine. Do you suffer from any allergies?
I suggest taking cetirizine (Zyrtek or a generic), 10mg once a day. You could also consider short-term use of a sedating antihistamine in the evening, if appropriate. You should go and speak to a pharmacist for advice. Some newer antihistamines are available on prescription only, but they are likely to be a lot more expensive than OTC cetirizine without being any better, so I wouldn't personally rush to the doctor straight away unless a major rash has developed or some other unexpected symptoms.
